Big thanks to NebinAK and the SciVation gang for hooking me up with not 1 but 2-90 serving tubs of X-Tend (Tropic Thunder and Italian Blood Orange). So what is X-Tend? It is a Intraworkout powder that utilizes 7gs of BCAA to help aid recovery and build muscle during workouts (

Here's a quick peak at the label:
2:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleuicine and Valine which is good. Some extra goodies with glutamine and electrolyte blend.
Blood orange flavor:
This was one I was excited to try due to all the praise it's gotten from alot of good bros on here. When I popped the bottle open, it smelled like orange juice. I then mixed a scoop with my ½ gallon jug (the amount in the pic was to illustrate the color since my half gallon jug is stainless steel so would have been hard to see inside). Even in a half gallon, 1 scoop still held its own flavor wise. Tasted like fresh squeezed orange juice. Was very delicious to drink for my 4 am sessions. Flavor 10/10
Tropic Thunder:
When I opened the tub on this flavor, a pineapple aroma hit my nose which was a pleasant scent. I tried this one in a ½ gallon as well but I first tried it in 10 oz. It was a delicious pineapple taste. It tasted like a Pina colada to me. Also was delicious to drink for me morning sessions. Flavor 10/10
As for the recovery aspect, it would be hard to gauge that at the moment because I'm in a lean bulk with a caloric surplus plus I'm only doing cardio once a week (I am lifting 5 days a week). However with the two flavors tasting good, it does allow me to drink alot more water for my 4am fasted sessions so that's a plus for me.
Final thoughts:
If your someone that uses BCAAs or an Intraworkout, I would certainly recommend Blood Orange and Tropic Thunder flavors of XTend. Both flavors are spot on! Blood Orange tasted exactly like one and Tropic Thunder tasted like a Pina colada. Price is $24.99 for 30 servings and $59.99 for the 90 serving which are both fairly priced. Would buy again for both flavors! Thanks again to NebInAK and I the SciVation team for the opportunity to try out both flavors.
